#AlexMurdaugh #SouthCarolina #MaggieMurdaugh
What race can top these actions. None it’s the usual suspects 😳 nothing to worry about. We can’t even blame this on poverty.
He looks like he will age like the old bird dude in Shawshank Redemption. Good looking old guy… just an old crook.
Mmmmmmmm……..delicious opioids. An ex addict friend of mine described the high as being “10 feet tall, incredibly happy and utterly invincible.” So I can see the attraction.
They need to double check on the father’s cause of death. 😳😳😳
They did
Glad God gave us only what we needed in abundance and then a little more excessive money is a curse!
Duh he obviously hired someone to murder his wife. Look at his fake made up shooting. What a poop for brains. How did he think all of his failed schemes up? Probably in a bubble bath.
It’s all down to money. He stole clients money, he needed money , then the well insured people around him started dying.
He probably serial killer…
Or started getting killed ….. *
This is a really shocking case
Nope! I deeply want everyone to consider the family of the young classmate and friend of the younger son who was killed in that boat incident 🤔
That explains the why, of his death and his mother being at the second home with him also being killed.
@Kasondra Amoore oh he killed people outside his own family? Maybe to silence them? I hadn’t heard about that
Stiff penalties.
What a mess.
Awful
Low how u can go 4 insurance if he end doing that 4 reason
Greed of money evil situation.
Crooks corrupt
Uh oh spaghettios! Got a murderer on our hands ! Allegedly!
WOW!
I wouldn’t be surprised if something else comes up.
All deaths including the helper’s should be seriously investigated. What a coincidence? His so called attempt at suicide is nothing but s farce, Too convenient. Treat this case exactly as you would do that of a Blackman, guilty before proven innocent. In fact, if all criminal cases are treated as the law treated those of black people in the USA, then ALL your cases would be solved. “”Level the playfield”” for all.
JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING! YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT!
A true narcissist. Prayers for the victims of this man.
They don’t need prayers they are dead wtf think and use your brain
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
A family with the law in their pockets are very dangerous. RIP to all the people who lost their lives because of these people
The corrupt state of South Carolina….
@JelliotI wont step foot in South Carolina since my mother died in 2006
Does that include black people to?
@Young700 everything doesn’t have to do with race, but yes if their money is long enough
Oh Wow! He’s a real peach. Lol, geez
STOP IT!!!! “REMEMBER CRACK”? Sooooo No EXCUSES!@#
Seriel killer
Well I literally said I thought it was the dad. They jumped on me in the comments….
To some people family mean nothing …… Some people only want the money $$$$. Which will always have karma slam and block every slimy thing they try to get away with ….. *
Typical republican wanna be alpha boi
Family values
Christian principals
High moral standards
Lmmfaoooooo 🤣👍🏻🤣
Just look into his dark eyes….that will tell you something! This is a very sad and horrific case!!
Why are his eyes black wtf he looks creepy in his mug shots😩👀
The son’s death is unbelievably sad. Imagine the moment his son was shot and what his son might have saw
When his son ⚰ that beautiful, innocent teenager by recklace drunk driving…and used his family’s clout to get off…. I lost sympathy for him. That whole family line is trash. Even the granddaddy and great granddaddy.
Don’t forget the boy found in the middle of the road. There’s a LOT of dead bodies around this guy, just saying. Almost as many as Lori Vallow. And frankly he looks a bit like someone with more than a few secrets / a serial killer..
how about focusing on who murdered his wife and son???
He did it.
THE MERCENARY Brutal Blood spraying Head crushing Martial Arts action by former French Foreign Legion 2 REP SNIPER now on amazon prime …….
I thought white people like each other?
The future Forensic Files episode on this dumpster fire of a family will surely be a hit.
You can be up one day and down the next …GOD don’t like ugly.
Wow, what a way to commit suicide.
This Will make your jaw DROP!!!! I bet my life on it!!!! https://youtu.be/hEwcSmgTMd8
Of course, just what we all need is someone blaming their vial actions on opioids. I’m a chronic pain warrior and this just break my heart
Of you weren’t a sympathetic pain patient, I’d say: *vile.
BUT…you are, and I’m sorry for that, so…xxx
Tripped over the dogs? Was “ran into the doorknob” unavailable?
My word, this family’s entire story is Southern Gothic on steroids! It just never ends!
Smh!!!! It’s always the ones you never suspect to do wrong. That’s crazy! Should we now be aware of who we trust or rely on our life o. With these people. That’s crazy like you know the law but still screw up like doing criminal backgrounds doesn’t get checked before getting hired for law.
Sick
Family if fucka
Good grief. What a mess of a man.
disgusting what greed does.
They’re hoping he’ll go to prison and that everyone will stop digging.
That’s not how that works. Even if he’s convicted of anything, people will dig until long after he’s locked away,
@Mel Leaux bless your heart.
NEWSFLASH: Wife leaves all her stuff to hubby.
Weird family
How can he steal money from lady that helped him raise his own kids! Now you trying to cheat her kids! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Wow all these people he’s killed and he’s going to get away with it
I wonder how far back this criminal enterprise goes. No way it just started in 2015.
Decades dude ..it is disgusting
Can’t spend it from the gallows….
It started with one, then the money, and now the lawyers multiply….
He murdered his wife and son. He did it.
I love how this guy thinks the signature is legit. Just get to the point where they find enough evidence to charge Alex with the murder of his wife, son, & maid.
Wtf
Alex killed his wife and son & everybody else !
So they’re all lawyers and didn’t know she has to initial all handwritten changes? Nope.
💥
Alex Murdoch needs to have his charges upgraded to 1st degree premeditated murder in the deaths of his house keeper, his son, and his wife. All of these folks died because of Murdochs planning, there are no accidents or who dunnits.
Hum sounds like a motive for the shooting. Besides she probably figured him out and his shady side. He’s not a real smart criminal
The corrupt state of South Carolina.
This is what nepotist politics gets you
Serial killer
Leaving everything to a surviving spouse or very common
HURRY UP & PUT HIM AWAY, WHY DRAG THIS ON…
I had 20 million dollars bail for words.
Another corrupt lawyer , I’m sooo shocked 🤐🥴☹️😬
Motive for murder!
Not if I Own your physical building Bank
Really? The opiate addiction is to blame? Gotta throw the B.S flag on the field with this one.
He killed them all
Not a big Whoopi really it doesnt surprize me this man has a pattern deffinatley started 20 years back serial killer assasin out of pure greed …. I believe his son was a killer also ….
The Murdaughs have made stooges of the ridiculous hayseeds surrounding them. Too funny.
Only Murdaugh really knows how deep, and for how long, this criminal has been playing the legal system. Doesn’t make him unique, just illustrates how broken this system is. Rich people. One system. Poor people. Entirely different and profitable for the Rich! Watch this case.. it will go silent when the connections get higher. Crooks and Murderers.
Sue The Sacklers.
Alex thy name is Avarice!
Money is the root of all evil
Experience from my families and friends
Even my son
Another excellent of REPUBLICANS WITH GUNS.
He’s guilty! RIP.
The maid tripped over a Dog and died????🤣🤣🤪🤪
These rich ficks want us to believe chicken scratch wills??? What a joke. So elated the arrogance is being transparent for all to see, these types of families are a huge problem for the south.
Monster 👹
This whole story is weird and confusing 😵💫
HE HAD THEM KILLED HE KNEW HE WAS ABOUT TO BE EXPOSED AND FIRED FOR THE STOLEN MONEY, HE HAD A CERTIAN AMOUNT OF TIME TO PUT MONEY BACK BEFORE IT WAS EXPOSED SO.HE KILLED THEM FOR THE INSURANCE MONEY WHE THE PAY OUT EAS DENIED…..THE COMPANY FIRED, AND EXPOSED IT HE PANICKED AND FELT THE PRESSURE WAS COMING ABOUT THE MURDERS SO HE STAGED HIS OWN SHOOTING HE WILL BE CHARGED WITH MURDER IN LATE JANUARY EARLY FEBRUARY
I wonder what his wife knew.
Greedy fool and his money shall surely part
Wtf? this is a no brainer, this guy is a serial killer
What Is it with these people n money?..so crazy!…disgusting situation they alone to live off others inehritance….
I said this before..and someone called me crazy… And called me other names….
I think he murdered his family and the house cleaner. It all started with the house cleaner. He killed her for will money and then was running out of money and killed his wife and son in a rage. Then when the doors started closing in he tried to stage his own death. But failed so now it’s all looking really bad.
Naming the surviving spouse as sole primary beneficiary is typical with married couples. Alex still killed them (most likely) but being in the will is typical.
That a lawyer who methodically plots the murder of his wife and of his own son, and their beloved housekeeper, then lies about it, is a putridly narcissistic and sociopathic sole. Who is in desperate need our LORD GOD ALMIGHTY’S mercy and forgiveness, for currently he is a drift, in a sea, of deception..
Alex Murdaugh is innocent.
My man
I love seeing these “privilege” stories. What person can ride free of at least a True deep investigation into all this death surrounding one person? A rich, sorry but white male. Sounds like he should of been behind bars at least 4 years ago. So much death since then is so sad and law enforcement including the judge in this jurisdiction should be investigated and held accountable immediately.
He murdered his housekeeper first – to steal the insurance money from the family and then murdered his wife and son to collect from them. Not to mention the many many many clients he stole from.. And he is still given a place to sleep and 3 hots a day. Un-freaking-believable.
PURE EVIL. Give him what he deserves! Max sentence!
AM is a serial killer. Everything he touched died.
It all boils down to money & greed, that’s why he’s under the jail !
That dude is sick!
He killed them all. He is HUMAN GARBAGE.
It is scary to know so many lives around him lost mysterious. It sounds fishy.
